Abstract
With the popularization of quality education in China, the bilingual teaching for ethnic minorities has developed steadily. The implementation of bilingual education not only meets the needs of economic and social development of the state, but also protects civilization, inherit culture, and cultivate talents with multi-cultural background. This paper conducts a survey in Awati experimental primary school in Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang, on the students’ and their parents’ use of Chinese, their attitudes towards bilingual education, and the influence of bilingual teaching on home-school communication. The results show that there are some problems in bilingual education in Xinjiang: teachers’ insufficient bilingual education ability, students’ difficulties in Chinese pronunciation and writing, and obstacles in home-school communication
